Since I downloaded and installed BOINC beta Version 3.20 ( and i uninstalled the old Setiathome which has been running happily for ages until last week) I have only received 2 work units. For the rest of the time i see repeated attempts to download more work units and all i get is "No work available" and then "deferring communication with project for x hours and y minutes"
Since this programme is still labelled as a "beta" programme is it just not working properly? So will someone connected with seti come on line and say what is happening?

You are going to lose a lot of loyal supporters over this if something is not done about it.

Boinc v 3.20 is a M1 release as you can see in the "Help". The beta release is a release that was used in the Beta Test phase.

The problem you have is not related to the software. The software is running fine, only some minor bugs have to be fixed but the message you have is not related to any wrong functioning of the software.

The message is only related to the fact there are for the moment no WU's available on the server and therefore no WU's can be downloaded.

As a lot of us, the only thing that can be done is have patient and keep thrusting the people of Berkeley. They have been working hard for months and months, even late at night and during the weekend.

Hope this answer your question.

Greetings from Belgium.
